PALM DRIVE BEVERLY HILLS, CA. 90210 RE: 3055/3065 MADISON STREET, CITY OF CARLSBAD, CA. Dear Mr. Perl: It is my understanding that the La Casita Video Store, which was leasing retail space from you on your property located at 3055 Madison Street in Carlsbad, is going out of business at their current location. Based on this information, I would like to remind you that once the La Casita Video Store ceases its business operations, the building must be converted back to its original residential use per Carlsbad Housing and Redevelopment Commission action on December 10, 1991 (see attached letter). Residential use is the only use that will be allowed within the building once the existing video store ceases operations; it may not be leased to another video store. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or comments regarding this correspondence, please feel free to contact my office at (619) 434-2935, Sincerely, DEBBIE FOUNTAIN Senior Management Analyst Planning Department, Van Lynch Building Department, Pat Kelley 2965 Roosevelt St., Ste.

The reason for denial of the permit was inadequate on-site parking. The Commission did indicate that the La Casita Video Store will be allowed to operate at 3055 Madison Street until they no longer wish to do business at that location. However, once the La Casita Video Store ceases its business operations, the building must be converted back to its original residential use. A new retail establishment will not be allowed at that location. The building at 3 065 Madison Street must be converted back to its original residential use; no other use will be allowed at that location. For your information, the two front units (3 055 and 3 065) on Mr. Perl's Madison Street property were converted to office/retail space without approval from the City. Although the existing and proposed uses are, in fact, allowed at those locations, the project was originally approved for six apartment units only; no commercial/retail uses were approved. Therefore, any changes in use (i.e., residential to office, retail, etc.) must be reviewed and approved by the Carlsbad Design Review Board and/or Housing and Redevelopment Commission; no such approval has been given for this property according to city records.

The Board reviewed a minor redevelopment permit request from the property owner of 3055/3065 Madison Street to convert two 880 square foot residential units into retail space. The item was continued to a public hearing to be held on Wednesday, October 16, 1991. KATHY L. GRAHAM : ec c: City Manager Assistant City Manager Community Development Director Department Heads September 16, 1991 TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD MEMBERS FROM: Housing and Redevelopment Department Enclosed please find your Design Review Board Agenda Packet for the meeting of Wednesday, September 18, 1991 at 5:00 pm. Please note that staff has revised our report and changed the recommended action. For information purposes, Ron Ball, of the City Attorney's Office, provided his input in the preparation of this report and the proposed resolution. If you have any questions or comments regarding the agenda or staff report/resolution, please contact the Redevelopment Office at 434-2811. DEBBIE FOUNTAIN Senior Management Analyst :ec September 4, 1991 TO: DESIGN REVIEW BOARD FROM: REDEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT SUBJECT: RP 91-2 - PERL FAMILY TRUST - 3055 MADISON STREET The agent (Mort O'Grady) for the property owners (Perl Family Trust) of 3055 Madison Street has submitted an application for a Minor Redevelopment Permit to change the use of an existing 880 square foot medical office/residential unit to a beauty salon. The proposed land use (beauty salon) is acceptable and compatible with existing adjacent land uses and permitted land uses within the Redevelopment Plan and Village Design Manual. Attached is a staff report from the Planning Department which provides a summary of the proposed project and recommends denial of the requested permit due to insufficient parking. The parking requirement for a beauty salon (retail use) is 1 per 300 square feet of gross floor space. The structure identified for the proposed beauty salon at 3055 Madison is 880 square feet in size. If the structure is considered in isolation, the parking requirement would be three (3) spaces. In order to change the use of the noted structure, however, the property owner is required to bring the entire property into compliance with current parking standards. Based on the existing uses (video store and four residential units) and the proposed use (beauty salon), the total parking requirements for the property will be sixteen (16) spaces. The property currently provides only five (5) parking spaces. The applicant has made several attempts to design alternative parking plans and/or make other arrangements for parking. For example, the owner of the beauty salon reached an agreement with Security Pacific Bank for use of two (2) parking spaces within their lot for her clients. Unfortunatley, the applicant was unable to provide the total eleven (11) additional parking spaces required on-site to bring the property into compliance with current parking standards per the City Municipal Code. The Redevelopment Department is supportive of the use change. The rental space for the proposed beauty salon has been vacant for nearly a year. A vacant building is counterproductive to the Redevelopment Agency's effort to economically enhance the Village Area and eliminate blight. For information purposes, methods and/or actions for addressing the problems created by non-conforming buildings and on-site parking requirements in the Village Redevelopment Area will be addressed in the new Master Plan and Implementation Program. PERL FAMILY TRUST PAGE 2 Per City Ordinance Chapter 21.35.100, the Design Review Board has three (3) options for consideration: 1. 2. 3. le (3) options tor consideration Approve an exemption from the Lpprove an exemption from the parking requirements for the noted project and approve RP 91-2. The Village Design Manual allows the Board/Commission to grant an exemption from the number of required on-site parking spaces whenever it finds there is sufficient public parking within a reasonable distance. The proposed beauty salon use requires a total of three (3) parking spaces at the noted location. A public parking lot currently exists at the corner of Carlsbad Village Drive and Roosevelt Street which is approximately 300 ft. from the proposed beauty salon site. Approve an exemption from the parking requirements for the noted project and conditionally approve RP 91-2 for a given period. The permit could be reviewed at the end of the designated period to determine whether or not the absence of on-site parking for the beauty salon is presenting a problem to surrounding businesses/residences. Accept Planning Staff's recommendation to deny RP 91-2 and adopt Resolution No. 171, based on the findings noted therein. 1 JjJU>j> HE FOUNTAIN EXHIBITS: 1.
